When it comes to Google it’s not being pessimistic, it’s just being realistic.

Maybe for most of their acquisitions (but I don’t know). But they do get acquisitions right: YouTube, android, double click, Waze…

Or Apigee. Or Looker. These comments are tiring.

The majority (all, I'd say) of those are 15 years (and more) in the past by now. Not sure about Waze, well, looks like I was wrong, they were only acquired in 2013, so it's "only" 13 years in the past for them.

Gmail was an acquisition? I thought it was internal? I remember them launching as an invite only (how i got mine) and it went from there. What is the story?

Its boring though?

Pessimism is so lame and uninteresting for discussions

6 months is even generous and optimistic

This is such BS… Google also bought YouTube for a bargain price early on… and that is far from the only successful purchase that Google has had

You're right, I'm giving it 5 years

The cynic in me says it will join the graveyard after the acquisition depreciates or it does not bring in as much money as someone at Google will think it should.

As a Wiz user, it is a a really good product and I can't say this for a lot of the security stuff that is out there.

And lastly: remember that Google is an advertising company with hobbies.
